If some of our contemporaries would learn the distinction between immorality and crime they would be saved the mortification of making a great many blunders in writing on these topics. Owing to the press on our col umns this week, the article of the Abbeville Press and Banner, in ref erence to the Dispensary discussion is crowded out of this issue. It w'll appear in full next week. We, of course, can make no comments on it until it appears in our columns. The editor of the Sumter Free man, a staunch member of the Alli ance, has been unceasing in his pro tests against the leaders of the Alli ance being such inveterate office seekers, but it seems that he has pro tested in vain when the fact is con sidered that Mr. W. D. Evans, the president of the Alliance, is a candi date for Governor. Despite tin; oft repeated assertion that the Alliance is not in polities, stands out promi nently the fact that, almost without exception, its leaders have used it as • stepping stone to political prefer ment Secretary of State Tiudal, in a very dignified and straightforward letter, has announced his intention not be a candidate for governor. Mr. Tindal is not extreme enough in his views to suit some of the leaders of bis factiou, and would, were he to make the race, stand yery little chance of semiring the nomination He wonld make a far bc.-er governor than John Gary Evans, but could not be depended on to follow in the footsteps of Gov. Tillman, us he probably bus ideas of his own as re gards the duties and limitations of the chief executive officer of the State. The Columbia Register is calling Larry Gantt all kinds of hard names, which if true w6 .id indicate that Mr. Gantt’s nature has under gone a mighty change for the worse since the time when he used to write those strikingly truthful articles for the columna of this high-toned and dignified journal. It is a sad fall from the paths of rectitude and it is a matter of profound regret that the severance of bis relations with the Register should have produced such a direful result. How the con science of the proprietor of the Reg ister must torture him when he re members that be is mainly responsi ble for the moral degredation of this once truthful ami upright man. EASTER. Sunday, the 25th, is the day set apart to commemorate the resurrec tion of the Savior, who after the space of three days burst the bands of death and came forth from His sealed and guarded tomb and by this miraculous power over the laws of nature settled forever the question as to His divinity and of His oneness with the Father. It was the great final act of His mission on earth, the character ami object of which had been so accurately foretold by the prophets of old, and the triumphant consummation in the physical life <f One who came to bring the glad tidings of peace and good will to men. He came not to offer His grace to a part of the human race, but to every living creature, for that same attribute of His divine love that made it possible for Him to offer salvation to any individual makes it necessary that it should be given freely to all who will come unto Him. Any other belief than this is incompatible with the divine attributes of justice and mercy, for these are as boundless as His power. After the lapse of nearly nineteen hundred years, the words of our liord and Redeemer are as potent for good and have as deep a hold on the hearts and consciences of men as when they first fell from His lips, and there are millions of the human race whose faith is as strong as was that of Thomas after lie had felt the prints of the nails on the body of the Savior, and whose conviction was followed by those memorable and triumphant words, “My Lord and my God.'' On this day not only the Christian of Europe and America will rejoice and observe it with thanksgiving, but in the isles of the sea and in every part of the globe people will sing glad songs of praise to the Savior of the human race. On this glad day let the church bells ring with joyous tone, let all the people repair to their respective places of worship and join in commemorating an event which furnished such abso- ntely indisputable evidence of the divine origin of Christianity, and which has placed it upon a rock against which the waves of infidelity and skepticism may beat and dash in vain.

The Sumter Freeman makes the serious charge against Judge. Bcnet that he was s.:cn playing cards with professional gamblers, while he was in Sumter, at the recent term of the court The Freeman both in jus tice to itself and to Judge Benet ought, to specify its charge and put it in such chape that it can be in vestigated, for if it be true then Judge Benet is bringing reproach upon the high position th.it beholds. The judiciary should lie not only versed in legal knowledge, but of irreproachable moral character also. Since the aboye was in type we find in the Watchman and Southron, NO RESPECTER OF PERSONS. That there is something radically wrong either in our criminal laws, or in the jienalties impos;d for their violation, is too palpable a fact to admit of denial, and the question naturally arises as to what can be done to secure their more certain en forcement and also some plan by which the punishment may be in proportion to the gravity of the crime. We constantly hear a repeti tion of the words that the law is no respecter of persons, but a little re flection will readily show that it is, in many cases, a phrase that has no real meaning. As an instance of the truth of this assertion it is only necessary to mention two of the sen tences imposed by Judge Benet at the recent session of the Sumter court, but iu doing this we distinct ly disclaim any intention to reflect on the presiding judge, for the rea son that he has simply followed a custom that prevails, to a greater or less extent, in every part of the conn' try. An ignorant negro, who had probably never had any moral train ing and whose theft may have been inspired by - hunger, plead guilty to the crime of stealing two turkeys and was seutenced to two years in the penitentiary, while an educated white man, who belonged to a prom- luent family and who had had every advantage of mental and moral cul ture, who plead guilty to stealing seyeral hundred dollars was let off with a sentence of twelve months. It is very plain that either the white man got off too light or that the negro’s sentence was entirely too severe. Just reverse the case and suppose that the negro had stolen the money and the white man the turkeys, doe anyone for a moment suppose that the same sentences would have been imposed ? As the case stands the poor, friendless, ignorant negro will lie hustled off to the penitentiary, and made to serve his lime out, being however far more entitled to sympa thy than the cultured white man, while for the latter there will proba bly be a strong petition for hif pardon, sent to the governor, signed by a large number of silly people who allow their mis placed sentiment to outweigh their judgment and common sense. No one supposes that it is possible, at all times, to administer the laws with absolute justice, but it should be Ibe constant aim of those charged with their execution to approximate impartiality as nearly as possible.

I swindler or torger by sending him borne of our exchanges are trying to sidetrack Mr. Ellerbc. as a candi date for govern.o' on the ground that he is not an effective stump sjaaker. It is very much to his credit that he is not atcoivJing to what is now the fashion iu {Kilitieal speaking, most of which is douc with uti utter disregard of irutb and fairness. Mr. Kllerbe’a inability to compete with the glib-tongnul Aiken lawyer does not by any means proto that he would not. make a Letter governor than his legal competitor. As to Mr. Elleilie’s qualifications we cannot speuk advisedly, but his ina bility to make a ttirring stunip spiech should not, be allowed to stand against him. Some of the best and wisest men could not make a stump fpcech if their lives depen ded on it, jet they are often the safest kind of men to entrust with public office. the grand jury, if the man who made this charge can prove the truth of what he says, I will take the robe of office off my shoulders and leave the bench as I ought to do.” All we have to say is, that if the Freeman does not, without the least delay, conclusively prove its grave charge# against Judge Benet; it will- put itself in a position that will be anything else hot hii enviable one. GET OFF THE FENCE 1 Mr. Bowden, the editor of the t.'otton Plant, which tells Its nothing about agriculture but a great deal about bad politics, iimst he a very astute individual, lie is an ojk-ii and ardent advocate of the Third party and its political vagaries, while at the same time he is credit ed with living able to dictate terms to Governor Tillman and other lead ers, who are constantly telling us that they are Democrats. It is cer tainly without a parallel in the his tory of politics, that of a member of one political party dictating terms to the leaders of another. If Governor Tillman, Senator Irby and other Reform leaders, are wise they will east Mr. Bowden adrift :ts speedily as |s)ssible and that without any ceremony. It would not be w bud idea for Mr. to the penitentiary, when the mere fact of his wrongdoing proves con clusively that he has degraded him self, and that imprisonment will only hurt him in a physical sense. Another thing in this connection that should lie considered is the fact that a great deal of what is colled regret for the commission of crime lacks the true element of penitence, iu that it is the issue and not the act for which they are sorry. This is a matter that demands the most earnest and serious attention of our iM-ople, for it is very certain that there is imperative need of a change, not only in the laws and their ad ministration, but what is of far more imjiortatice in order that these laws may be executed impartially, a radical improvement itt public senti ment, u sentiment that will not tol erate the slightest deviation from the lines of justice either by judge or jury.
